My question to Drudge is: really? I seriously doubt that the dems would release these statistics unless they where doing an attack on Huckabee. If they really thought Huckabee was so easy to beat, they would have kept silent and not issued this statement. We all know that when democrats say something, you can usually assume that exactly the opposite of what they're saying is true (except for when they say they'll raise taxes, because that is one area they always tell the truth about). Hmmmm...
Also, read this post by justatron over on Huck's Army and decided it too belongs here:
The more I think about this, the more convinced I am of the duplicity of the Democrats in this. They are freaking out because they realize that they have NO good options for candidates in their top three. By all logic, they should be able to roll in November, considering the political situation right now.
Hillary is so very weak. People don't want to relive the 90s, they don't want 20 years of American presidency to be Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. She brings nothing to the table for the Dems that they don't already have. So she's strong among women? Don't a majority of women already vote Democratic? She is the true glass jaw of this campaign.
Obama is a little stronger, and if he had been in the senate for 3 or 4 terms, or had been the governor of Illinois or something, then I'd fear him. People want optimism and vision, which Obama has. But against Huckabee, people can have optimism, vision, AND experience. Just like Hillary, Obama doesn't bring anything to the table that Democrats don't already have. Sure, he can get 25,000 people to show up to a rally, but does anyone really think that people were there to see him and not Oprah?
Huckabee is our best chance to keep the White House in November. End of story. His flaws are minor compared to the skeletons in Giuliani's closet and the flip-flops in Romney's. Thompson has no energy or enthusiasm for his own campaign, so why should we? McCain, while an honorable man who has served this country well, had his chance in 2000 and is too wrapped up in "Washington" to win this year.
We gotta do it. It is up to us. This will be a grassroots effort from now until the general election. Huckabee has bucked expectations his whole life. With our help, he can continue to do so.
Ok class, this is politics!

I agree: The Democrats are bluffing. Think about it. Let's assume this source can be trusted. Why would they release their "strategy" to Drudge instead of the New York Times? Because they know Conservatives read and trust Drudge more than the NY Times. They knew we'd be freaking out. I think they're trying to get us to think they've got dirt on Huck so we'll abandon him and go for Romney or Guilliani (who they REALLY have dirt on). They're afraid of Huck because he's got what the Democrats are lacking: character and substance. Even if they have dirt on him, I would bet it's very minor stuff. The key now is that we call their bluff and continue to support Huck even more. Let's not let the other side dictate our primaries.
I agree with Josh. This latest spin by the Democrats is pure bluff, and I have evidence to back it up.
The comment in the Drudge piece that the DNC hasn't issued a negative press release about Governor Huckabee since March 2 is a clever parsing of words.
The Iowa Democratic Party continued to attack the Governor until at least July. (Scroll down to the first comment by Bruce Gresham, dated 07/25/07).
Thanks for your comments!
